Bitt : if they expend ed' their money on these objects, and then canie 'forward to ask, for public aid for objects, which they were hound. fopro-videior Out of their oWn Rinds, the!. such' an cxpendit.nre was most blame, able. 'flteyJmd expynded.for the .Statores of the Eing, Lord Chatham, aurl Mr: Pitt, Boxes to the Duke's Of Kent and Sussex; and. to Colonel NV,.ndte, and other pithl:ie men, upwards of 18;0001, for ( .. oiours to iT , iluntver Regiments,. 1.6001,—in Don:.tions to Public Cliaritiest3,oool.,in Donations to Public Objects connected with Politics 25..9681. The whole Of the stimS expended on.these rhfferent , objects, amounted to no less than 126.5401. Now the • sum required for this Ge.iol was 130,0001.; and thus, ,if . the Corporation of - the City had been just be,- fp're they were generous, t he. soms which they has so misapplied might !Live boensu . fficient to cool - plete .their • prison. very particle •of this 126,0001.: so spent; was a misapplication. Un fortunately, liwever; this . was not, the first mis application. The Honourable. Gentleman then went.into an aetontit of the transactions whicb lea to the grant of the duty, c ommonly called the ()cobalt -Tax: Ile held in his hands • a brief statetneut of the derrimits of the City, annually disti.itAtted among the Members of the Corpora . . In that statement' he ohserved that the Lotd Mayor and Aldermen of the City of London - , were debtor s,,t - O the, amount' Of 53,0001. to a fund Of which they• were the Trustees, and which wa3 granted to them for a certain specific Object. The Bridge-house Estate was vest ed.in them tor the building and repairing Landon . Bridge when necessary. Of the fonds of this 85 't ate 33,000/. and 25,0001 3 per cent,Stock, nirw , worth 20.0001 in all 53,0001. had been appropliated, by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, to other objects. So that if omit or two • arches of London . Bridge should- happen to he swept away, a thing very . far front improbable, they most again come to the biph r an Food.. It Was. too lenient a term 1.0 call ,this a , misapOcation—it was a downright to.e 'eniliezzlent of these funds. But -this: was not the'only misapplication of the fends of this estate. By an ancient the,City of London had a jtolsdicionin part of the County of Surrey, the 130 .rough of Sour hwark-:--akftiviiction Wrhich had long beendoituant.lt had latel:filmwOer, been re , ;ived, for the creation of a plaCe for decayed Aldermen: This was a-groSs and nefarious job . ' Would the Alembiri :for rhe City - say, that when this diction was revived, there was any , want of jus tice ? The copsevience was, that there.were two Quarter Sessions and t %stn. Grand Juries in County at the slunk time, anti DO person knew where his. suit was going They had taken from the Bridge-house Estatel,4ool. a year to de fray that-expellee. With respect to the New Pri son, it was ilopossible that any thing could. be inadequate. to its purpose,. or worse plan-. ned ; itideed, it could 'frit be condemned in strong•er terms than were made use of by Mem bers of the Court of .the City of London. Be- cause they had already tooled away the 95,0001. already grant ed- - t hem; were they further to be clove(' with 34,000/. to he taken out of tae pockets of thoe. who were already chargeable with Irea'vy county Ives for their own objects ?,One' of the pleas. of the City was,. that they were boned to maintain gaols for the county of Middlesex as well as for the city of London. But they generally told only somticlr °tithe case as suited theinseiveS. They di i not tell the House, that with this rations ruivileges and immunities were at , • taelled, to which the city adhered with great jea lousy. Whey elected their own Sheriffs, and they • woidtj'not allow any of the. Magistrates of Mid dlesex to ex.amine their prisons. By-nominating to the office. of Sheriff persons whom they knew would not serve, they contrived to raise flout the fines a considerable revenue.' In one year lately 'they had. raised in this' way 9,2001. . :For the last lour vears they had, raised '20,000/. on an average 5,0001. , ,a year. On these grounds,-.. he felt it his duty to move for the following ac conn.—A statement 'of the Aniount of the:ReventteA of Abe City of London, as received by the Cham berlain of the City, .for'llie five...years endiug' the 31st December, 1817, aistin g uiihin g the particular heads resaid Sir WlLLiiot - CURTIS . maintained, that' the City. Of London - did not come - forward on thi'S occasion in forma pauperis—they were obliged t o k ee p up gaols, no tor themselves alone, but for every county in 'Engrantl, in some degree, and for the county of Middlesex. The. prisoners maintained for orner people by the City of London, amounted tb 250 a year ou an average - ; they were ahliged to maintain prisoners not belonging Co the City, &ter they were convicted, at a heavy expense. It was- on this account that their funs were not adequate to the expense of completing this prison. What the City of London now came forward to a:.1: for this.prison - was sanctioned by the House tlt- to elves. The City of'sLondon was ready.ar.d to•show how they had expended the for mer "grant of 95,000/. The- Hon. ' Gentleman, (Mr. H. Sumner) had said that the building of this prison was a job—bnt, Without meaning any thing offeosive, he would say, that the Honour-- able Gentleman had asserted"that which was not the fact. ‘Vith respect to the limited' space on Which. the' 'prison was built, Gentlemen ought to know the value of ground in the city of. London ;-7-not . all inch of ground could be purchased with- our putting two or three guineas on it : and then it was not every situation that could be taken. People might say, •--why not build , a gaol in this or that place; but the moment a place was sug gested, hosts of objeotors came forward-0 don't put a gaol near me ; . `wheti they fixed on another, place, it yas just the saaib .thing; at last they availed themselves Of the - breaking up of a large b rew _i, ou se. With respect to the accommo dations' zn .this — prison, which had given Ilse to so .rutt . th ".observation, --he Wished to ob s&ve, :hat this was a - poor marii.s prison ; the rich people wetit to the Bench, where, they could - drink their Burgundy and Qhampaigne ; tubbed 'their neighbours, -aud went into a prison to come ,out white-washed, too common a practice now,a-days. This was a pot. man's prison, and the putting forty or fifty in one day room could' not be considered any great hardship. The lion. Baronet then 'entered into a deterrce of ihenr•esents which had been made by . the City. The Hon. Bironet afterwards noticed the allusions which bail been made.to the under . - standing between some of his elder brethern, in the time of King ,Cha'rles,' and Parliament, the result of which-was :he grant of tlie duty on coal. 'Lk would 'endeavour, if he lived,. , to have this name clianell:( he did not like to haave this funol .: called the Orphans' :Fund: Tl;g City praye.! the 'House to allow - them' to t‘ise • money for this object •on the Orphans' Fund, and" tliey Would trot trouble them any more. The Ho-_ noirrable Baronet then alluded to the pro visions given in the New Prison ;.the bread, lig said, was as good as what was, used by any family in England; he had formerly unintention ally mis-slated the- quantity of' meat allowed, 'it was. four half pounds inst - eac of four pounds ; but a pound of bread a day-, and four half pounds'of meat.a week, for men who had forfeited their liberty, .antl .sonie their lives; Vt;As quite enough. What was the iillowance to his Majesty's soldiers and* sailors ? -.To give p . risOners more would only be idling- them- full of gross humours, and 'all that-=-(Laugh !)—The Hon. Baronet concluded .with moving.as air Amendment, that there belaid before the Home an . ACcount of the Produce. of the several Duties . conStituting the Orphans' Fund for the, last sig years, an Accorint of the . se, I veral Charges and Debts outstanding, chargeable on said yutio, and :of the- Application .of -the 93,000/. granted for the erection of a New Pri son in the City of - Landon. Mr. 'F.;e:rjeatit Orssr.ow obsetlved, that the Hon. Baronet had - endeavoured, by a' facetious speech, to divert tire attention of the House front the sub ject before-it ; the Honourable Baronet, however, in all that speech,. had not urged one argument in. answer to the reasoning of the Honourable Gen tleman Whir brought forward the motion. The duty on Coals in particular was a verY heavy Tax gut. the very poorest of the people ; alit! before t•he City of London could claim such.a Tak•for Such _ . objects as tl►e building , of - Prisons, they . otight to skew how -they had expended their termer revenue. He thought the honour of the City was implicated in this affair. He really did not see on What ground they could refuse atior.ding every it . rtorniation to the [louse, and he . shonld therefore vote for the motion. Mr. Alderman WOOD contended, that the City of London 'had not embezzled 'any part'of the Bridge-house Estate—in - no one one instance had they' made gifts of any part of that property. — With respect to the 24,000/. 'said to, be vxnended on an entertainment to the Liberators'of Europe, this was for two .dinners: one of them to the Duke of Wellington ; cost 5000/.; and though he, had opposed the war, he.had moved for that very dinner. The Honourable (Jen tie man who brought forward the 'motion, and the Hon. and Ltarned Gentleman, did not.seem to, be aware, when they spoke . of the misappiicatiorrof the proceeds of the Bridge-house Estate, that the county to which they _belonged had _horrowedmoney frOtn that Es tate for the purpose of making a' Sewer in St. George's Fields, an object of the greatest for which, however, they could not other 'vise obtain funds.—Anotl!.,er item of ex pence on that Estate 'was for the erection" of a Justice-hall in'Southwail, which was built at Ike earnest request of the people of tite Borough, . . . .. . . ..... who complained that stnali offences-.:.-re not pro stieutea on a•ccQunt..of Oie distance 'ot the Ses sions at Guildford. The expence cif this was not 120 01. ..tt was to be . r4. , collected, that the Fridge at Blackfriats •Itful !wet) built out of t.%)e bad been said Co bave b'en applied, solely to the benefit or the City of London. The building - of that ,Bridge,„ 'and other corrummica tidos, had increased the rental of Surrey 500,01/ot. The City of London, too, it should be - recollected, .paid i 1,500/. yea'rly towards the Orphans' Fund, The City no sy only asked f6r 17,0001: from. this . fund ;, and, though they were not alarme d at scrutiny, he did not think such a. request' as this warranted the House in calling for. their ,a 6-. counts. The Prison to which this was to be iap,. plied Was principally for Middlesex Debtors.t4 There were i.how 400 prisoners in it who did 'hot belong to the City of London ;. and 3;0001,.7 a.. year additional expellee was.iucurred by reoiting them.. train Newgate. It had been said, that in reti.-tr for their supporting the Gaols of 'the Coiinty of Middlesex, the City had the finei paid by those who declined the office of Sheriff; blit it was to be remembered that these fines were* only paid by Citizeni---r-no other persons in the Cohnty. of Middlesex were liable" 'serve.that irtlise,which was =tn experce of 2,5001. a year to any one, who undertook it: • Mr. BARCLAY contended Southwark received no" benefit from the monies paid out, of the City' BlaCkfriar'S-bridge, it it was a benefit to Surrey, had also been - a benefit to London. As to the money which had been borrOVed for — the sewers in Se. George's-fields; it was oh - good se - curity, - and,Would he repaid:* Many other sums, issued from the same Fund, would, he feared,-ne ver be rethrneil. .1f the' City ; was to apply in forma Tauperi.t for. money to 'maintain its Own prisons, when - London-bridge was to be rebuilt they might expect tr similar apPlication. - The - City now said, they had received money already licitzt the Orphans' Fund fur the same purpose.. It :Was the duty of •the'flouse to see that this was not unnecessarily increased. If, when they called for the accounts, it appeared that the City,had fairly expended its utopey—that_ it had been just to its creditori as well as gen.:rous—it Would be proper to relieve then; 'but if the money had been squandered; he did - rtbt think he should do his ilpiy if 'he_ supported tiiem in such a course. Et e supported the motion. • Sir J. SHAV" said, that when the City of Lon • don purchased.from the Crown the Shrievalty of .tlie County. of Middle Sex, they wete placed ,as to this the sante situation 'as .- Ibe King stood as to other counties. Yet hi those counties, the She ilas of which were appointed by the King, his Majesty did not raaintaiu the - gaols. Why there fore should the . sole-bUrden of the Maintenance of the gdois of Middlesex hre tbrowtron the City, incase within this shire they initi . be en . poitessel of that branch of the Royal Prerogative ? Th e City had . acted liberally in making the improve went which was deemed necessary in their new gaol, without obtaining any pledge froM Parlia ment ; but . he !toped the House would not now desert them. 'He should support the amendment. City would , no t , it they h a d n ot Mr. B. StlAyst said, that as to the maint e n a n ce t b A u l n i f tll ) le u s p e o x n , I t i l l i c e in of Dave th t e a g k e a r ° ) l s t h ° e received some equivalent. . He did not think . it fair that they should- receive money:out of a tund to ‘vhich. all the home counties around had to 'contribute. . . • _ . Mr. Alderman ATKINS supported the; amend, mew. Mr. N. CALVERT said_that he (lid not see any reason why - the County. of Middlesex should not he rated to the support of the. prisons in Lon don., to which . their-criminals were commit te d ; hut there was no reason for the tax on - the adja cent- counties, known by the name of the Or 7 phans' Fund, being, applied to - that put poSe. Mr. BENNET said, that the New Prison in Whitecross-street, which bad bee'n spOken of, was `one of the worst contrived and most discreditable he had ever seen. The men in that prison were separated---the• London debtors acrd. the Middle sex debtors ; bin the women were alknixecho gether. As to.'the state , of Newgate, a Gentle man who recentl y had•v visited it was of opinion, that his account of it had not been over coloured. His object was .to impress . on the Hans& that these prisons - should be made schools of reform and not schools' of crime; and that they should not be made places of torthre,' by want of food, and want of rest, and deprivation of health. He supported the motion. . • Mr. GRENFELL wished fo know, whether the s um which the City demanded w o u ld cau s e t h e continuance .of the Tax on Coals to the Orphans' Fund; longer than it otherwise would Sir W. Corms said, 'the tax was to continue till 1837; but even if the sum demanded were granted, it would not'contintte longer, , - Mr. H. SUMNBR said, that this tai tVaS limited to 1837, bur -was to expire so much sooner as the sums charged on it'shonld be discharged. The grant no* demanded would, therefore, prolong the duration of the Tax. He allowed a rate on Middlesex, for the . maintenance of the City Pri sons, might be justifiable, but he saw no 'reason for charging the other neighbouring, counties who supported Gaols of their own. The manner in which the City had- first acquired the, controtil of this fund was very suipicious, ds they gave a bribe of 10001. to Mr. Speaker Trevor, who had been obliged to put the question on his own ex,,-,- pulsion, The House divided, when the numbers.were 7 -- Fot thC Motion 24' - Against it ..• •• I 1 • Majority.. . —l3 PROSECUTIONS 'FOR FORGERY: Sir J. 111AcKINTOsu rose to make a motion . .of which he had given notice, which tvns framed with a view to show the .effect which the Bank Restriction had'upon the increase of crimes con nected with Forgery. ''The accounts he should move for . were, for the ProSecsutions for Forgery for 14 years before, and 14 years after the Restric tion in 1797 ; and the number of convictions and executions *at, eabb period. Of the prosecutions . , they had returns which had been formerly moved for, and of the convictions iu the, late years, they had accounts in the. general returns of criminal judicature since 1812. That the• Restriction Bill should have tended to increase the Prosecutions 'for Forgery, was not to be wondered at —but if any one had stated, that they had since that event - been multiplied one hundred fold, he would .00t heave been believed, -and general 'discredit , would have . been thrown on his'assertion . ; yet such was the fact. ..By the accounts which had' been produced; it •Was proved,. that. .the pro secutions at the instanCe of .theßank for Forgery,. previously to 1797. were fit. r..

Friend was not opposed, lie did not think it necessary to,offer any tact or argnment in its support. He therefore rose only for the pur4. pose of suggesting to his Hon. Friend the pro priety of•combining with the motion of which he had given notice for Tuesday next, a proposition for laying before the,House a distinct-Account of the, Persons prosecuted for the forgery or uttering of • Notes. of 1/. 2/. and 51. For it was•known t h at .those . were the Notes usually .circulated by the low people who were prosecuted, while very few were prosecuted for Notes of a higher. amount ; and upon this tact being established to the satisfaction of the .1-louse, it 'Must be evident that t h e h tit h herof prosecutions, convictions, and executions for forgery, Were owing to the re striction upou east, payments by the Dank, and the consequent issue of a vast number of \ small Notes. Mr. L'octniqz. deprecated any attempt to excite an improper commiseration for criniz,..observing, that it was the duty of the Bank .to hold our en• cOuragement to artists and chemists, with a view to the 'invention of some paper and colour which could not possibly be imitated, and thus the for gery of Bank Notes might be guardedagainst. SirJ. MACKINTOSH declared, That he never had , • . • any wish tn excite impr o p er coMm:seration for .crime ; or to take any proceeding likely ta weaken the'authority of the laws. But while he admitted the Learned Gentleman's- position, which how-' ever conveyed no information, namely, that 'no temptation was an adequate excuse for ctime, he would maintain,. that any' Legislature which held out a teMptation to crime was a participator ill the guilt of its commission.
